Everyone Heads To The Big Grocery Chains, But This Nebraska Shop Has Been Selling Japanese Favorites For Decades
Sushi-grade fish, Hawaiian Portuguese sausage, and hard-to-find BOSS coffee share one small set of shelves in Nebraska. That combination alone made me stop scrolling. The store started life under a different owner’s name, and some families have shopped there through more than one address.
